You define the Loop nodes by dragging Action elements from the Toolbox page into the Setup, Test and Body partitions. The Body partition can contain several Actions, which can be linked and organized into the required structure. The elements are aligned on the top left of the partition, so that resizing the node maintains the organization of the structure within and between the partitions. If you try to shrink the node below the structure size, the node automatically defaults to the 'best fit' size.

You can check on the exact location of an existing Action Pin by right-clicking on the pin name in the Loop Node Properties dialog and selecting the Find in Project Browser context menu option; the location of the Action Pin in the Project Browser is expanded and highlighted

A loop node is a structured activity node that represents a loop with setup, test, and body sections.

Each section is a well-nested subregion of the activity whose nodes follow any predecessors of the loop and precede any successors of the loop. The test section may precede or follow the body section. The setup section is executed once on entry to the loop, and the test and body sections are executed repeatedly until the test produces a false value. The results of the final execution of the test or body are available after completion of execution of the loop.
